Running Android App with Crashlytics from IntelliJ

Question

I'm trying to integrate Crashlytics into our Android project with Maven. I have all required plugins set up and build executes and completes when mvn clean package from command line. When running app built from command line - it's all OK.

Problems occurs when running application from IntelliJ.

I think all Crashlytics magic happens when generate-resources phase is executed:

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.crashlytics</groupId>
    <artifactId>crashlytics-maven</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.3</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>GenerateResources</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>GenerateResources</goal>
                </goals>
        </execution>
        <execution>
            <id>CleanupResources</id>
            <goals>
                <goal>CleanupResources</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

This plugin is added to my application pom.xml:

<build>
    <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.crashlytics</groupId>
            <artifactId>crashlytics-maven</artifactId>
            <!-- full configuration declared in parent pom.xml -->
        </plugin>
        ... other plugins...
    <plugins>
</build>

So - question is - how do I execute this goal when IntelliJ builds my APK?

Error I get when application runs:

Update (07-24):

Accepted answer should work, but if you re-download and re-install plugin - it should work with native IntelliJ builder. Although (today) it crashes when launching IntelliJ on Ubuntu machine.

Answer 1

The way I was able to get it to work was by going into the Maven Projects tab on the right side, select Plugins, select crashlytics and on the GenerateResources goal right-click and select "Execute Before Make"
